RESULTS
●Every SHG member earned Rs. 50 per stitched
suit (uniform).
●Women gained confidence and exposure to the
market. Some now have ventured into
establishing stitching units of their own.
●It led to financial empowerment of women.
●Rural economy got a fillip.
Future potential
●In district Sangrur, the target is to provide
uniforms to 200 schools by SHGs in the next
academic session, which equates to 1 lakh
uniforms approx.
●As more schools are covered under the PEHEL
project, the profit margin would increase to 30%
due to economies of scale.
Future potential
●Punjab government is going to implement Free
School Uniform Scheme 2022 very soon.
Under this scheme, the state government will
provide uniforms absolutely free of cost to
around 15.49 lakh government school students.
●This offers scope to enroll SHGs across the state
to provide uniforms to students
